01 Mar 12 - 04:34 PM (#3315780) Subject: BS: Dodgy email from Shep Woolley From: Brian May I've just received what appears to be a dodgy email purporting to come from Shep Woolley, but the From: is Shep Wolly This would appear to infer he can't spell his own name. It's asking for money to help out with the costs of a Bone Marrow Transplant in Spain and is full of emotional blackmail. I don't believe it's from Shep - so beware! |

01 Mar 12 - 07:11 PM (#3315831) Subject: RE: BS: Dodgy email from Shep Woolley From: Rapparee Why, that SOB.... Now when I was a lad and old Shep was a pup Over hills and valleys we'd stray Just a boy and his dog we were both full of fun We grew up together that way I remember the time at the old swimming hole When I would have drowned beyond doubt But old Shep was right there to the rescue he came He jumped in and helped drag me out Now the years rolled along and at last he grew old His eye sight was fast growing dim Then one day the doctor looked at me and said I can't do no more for him Jim So with trembling hand I picked up my gun Aimed it at Shep's faithful head But I just couldn't do it I wanted to run I wished they would shot me instead So I threw down that old gun, ran right up to his side He laid his faithful old head right on my knee And friends I stroked the best pal that a man ever found I even cried so I scarcely could see Now old Shep he knew he was going to go Cause he reached out and he licked at my hand Then he looked up at me just as much as to say I hate to but you understand Now old Shep is gone where the good doggies go And no more with old Shep will I roam But if dogs have a heaven there's one thing I know Old Shep has a wonderful home. |
01 Mar 12 - 07:19 PM (#3315835) Subject: RE: BS: Dodgy email from Shep Woolley From: Bugsy Definitely a hoax/scam email. I've had a couple sent to me from close friends email addresses that were also scams. Somehow ( Though I have no idea how) they got into Sheps email account and sent it to all his contacts along with all his contacts contacts, if you get my drift. CHeers Bugsy |
01 Mar 12 - 07:38 PM (#3315841) Subject: RE: BS: Dodgy email from Shep Woolley From: GUEST,Paranoid Pete A few months ago an old mate who is well known in our part of the UK had his email hacked. All his contacts were then sent a variation on this email. The sob story in this instance was that he had been mugged in Spain and had everything, cash/credit-cards/passport/etc stolen, thus desperately needed loadsamoney mailed immediately so he could pay off all travel bills and come home. He quickly set up a new email to alert us all as soon as he discovered the hack, but sadly some good kind friends were taken in by the fraudster and conned out of a fair few quid. The common link seems to be originating from Spain. |
01 Mar 12 - 09:42 PM (#3315907) Subject: RE: BS: Dodgy email from Shep Woolley From: Rapparee A friend of mine, visiting in Spain, supposedly sent me an email from London that she and her two daughters had been mugged, arrested, and were languishing in gaol and could I please send money? Since I knew she was in Spain, with ONE daughter and her son-in-law, I responded to the email stating that IF she could email me her birth date I would consider sending money. No response. |

02 Mar 12 - 05:32 AM (#3316019) Subject: RE: BS: Dodgy email from Shep Woolley From: Jack Campin If you look at the links in the email you will probably find it comes from Nigeria. I had one of those for somebody else (also claiming to be stuck in Spain) a few weeks ago. Send a payment by Western Union and anyone with the tracking code can withdraw it, anywhere in the world. |
02 Mar 12 - 09:08 AM (#3316075) Subject: RE: BS: Dodgy email from Shep Woolley From: Charley Noble Sometimes those spurious e-mails are very convincing, and I've actually wondered if my good friends are really in deep trouble in some youthful hostile in Karjackastan. If I ever am in such trouble, say in a revisit to the Gurage tribal region of Ethiopia, I hope my good friends here at Mudcat wire me money, lots of it! But only if I provide my secret password (PM for secret password). Cheerily, Charley Noble |
